The nights are always the hardest.

[baratron]

Depression sucks rocks [1]. I've spent the past four or five hours drifting along by reading other people's journals and talking on irc, instead of doing any of the things I meant to do. I've spent the whole night worried, stressed and unable to focus. But now the sun's up, my head feels clearer.

Something that someone wrote in her journal really upset me, and something that someone else wrote in hers really annoyed me. But I don't want to take people to task for writing things in their own journals, or to feel that they need to edit what they write in case I get upset by it. And the worst of it is that I can't explain why I'm upset in a matter of fact way because it's pushing too many buttons for me to be able to talk about it without my emotions taking over.

I think I'll just have to ignore it and get on with other things.

[1] Can I say this? I think in modern-day parlance things either "suck" (i.e. are bad) or "rock" (are good). But I seem to recall the expression "sucks rocks" from somewhere.

it might be as well to let them know, though. because then next time they want to write something similar to that they could post it to a custom friends group, perhaps, so they wouldn't need to edit what they wrote and you wouldn't need to be upset or annoyed by seeing it ?

"sucks rocks"

The "rocks" in "sucks rocks" is the noun meaning "stones." Something that sucks rocks is something that has a great deal of sucking power -- after all, to move something as dense and heavy as a stone is not a feat to be attempted without a good source of vacuum.
